Hi all,
I hope someone can provide me some instructions on how to setup/install a commercial SSL certificate on the hostname.
And yes, I know about installing and using a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate on the hostname. This is pretty easy and is something I normally use. However this customer does not want to use a Let's Encrypt SSL certificate on his hostname, but he wants to use a commercial SSL certificate on the hostname.
I have searched for a solution on this on Google and within the DirectAdmin documentation, but it's not very clear on how to do this succesfully. Based on this, I (again) recommended the customer to use Let's Encrypt instead (much less work and issues), however he prefers to use a commercial SSL certificate (and simply refuses to use Let's Encrypt). Sigh.
Anyways, customer is king, right? So I have been trying to find information on how to do this, but I cannot find clear instructions on how to achieve this correctly. Or I have overlooked things maybe? Hopefully someone can provide some help with this. I do know how to generate a CSR request from the CLI. But after that, I am completely in the dark on what do.
As as an example I am using the following as the hostname: ns1.exampledomain.com. On this CN the commercial SSL certificate will be installed and can be used afters to login on DirectAdmin (port 2222), mailserver, FTP, etc.
